Background
JPEGMAFIA (a.k.a. Barrington Hendricks, b. 1989) is an American rapper, producer, and singer born in Brooklyn, New York. At 13, he moved to Alabama where he experienced a significant amount of racism that influenced much of his preceding work. He then enlisted in the United States Air Force at 18 and was honorably discharged after a tour in Iraq. He initially made music during his time in the military under the alias Devon Hendryx before moving to Baltimore in 2015 and assuming the moniker JPEGMAFIA.
Following the release of his critically acclaimed 2019 album All My Heroes Are Cornballs, JPEGMAFIA began to dispute with his music label over how his songs should be handled and processed by industry regulations and obligations. This led to a frantic release schedule, as JPEG repurposed and quickly released material from his back catalogue as a way of fulfilling the requirements of his label contract. This fast-paced schedule led to the release of EP! in November 2020 and its well-received follow-up, EP2! in February 2021. After these two releases, he only needed one more project to fulfill the conditions of his contract.
Peggy began teasing the album on August 31, 2021 with the release of its first single, “TRUST!.” He then released the second single, “HAZARD DUTY PAY!,” on BandCamp, SoundCloud, and YouTube due to sample clearance issues on October 1, 2021.
His fourth studio album, LP!, was released on October 22, 2021 following delays due to sample clearance issues. Because of these legal issues and his balking from Republic Records, two versions of the album were released. The “online” version released on streaming platforms and featured a reduced tracklist, while the “offline” version, deemed “the true LP!” from the corresponding BandCamp description, was released on BandCamp, SoundCloud,

Background
Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks, more commonly known as “JPEGMAFIA”, is a rapper and producer from Baltimore, Maryland. Despite now hailing from Baltimore, JPEGMAFIA spent most of his childhood years in Alabama. His frequent brushes with racism that is so commonly found in the deep south has left a lasting impact on his character and his music.
JPEGMAFIA’s interest in creating music stems from his military deployment, particularly when he was deployed in Japan. Following the blueprint that A$AP mob had crafted in the years prior, each member of the crew had “mafia” in their name, thus leading to his moniker.
In 2015, JPEGMAFIA released his first piece of work, Communist Slow Jams. This project introduced the general public to Peggy’s experimental and eclectic production paired in tandem with his abrasive and often shocking lyrics. While his thoughts may be scattered and less cohesive on this project, he proved he was not afraid to say just about anything and was more concerned with getting his message out than breaking into the mainstream.
Just one month later, Peggy release the Darkskin Manson EP. The entire project was recorded during the Freddie Gray riots, and you do not even need to listen to the EP to know Peggy’s stance on the issue. With songs aptly titled “Cops are the Target”

Super cool experimental hip hop record. Figured you guys would want to check it out. Kinda reminds me of Clipping crossbred with Trap at times. Definitely check it out if you're looking for a great opener to 2018.

this is an unofficial discussion for reactions to the album or whatever one desires to say about the album. this is for the sake of preservation of discussion.***
It surprisingly fits well with Jpeg's rapping and the beat. He also mentions pulling up to support Darby and mentions Don C. The song is called END CREDITS!
Y’all should really check out his new album LP!. I don’t know why he gets compared to death grips a lot when they really are not that similar, but it’s still experimental hip hop so definitely worth a listen if you like DG
I was wondering if anyone had a link to the ghost pop tape plus or GenY⁵ (Ik GenY⁵ is tgpt but I still want to hear it) If you can thank you!
